Twelve Months

I have been in this home twelve months, but I love it so much it feels like I have been here forever. Alot has been achieved in this time,both to the home and us personally. It has been a big adjustment for us all, learning to live together in the one house and doing it in harmony(not always easy, but achievable)My journey has been one of learning, to live as a daughter again, to function as a single woman (not easy) to dig deep into myself to do things that I would never have dreamt of doing as a married woman( I am talking of using electrical tools and fixing taps and all sorts of other things which I have come up against whilst renovating the barn and house) I feel these things which I have accomplished are making me a better person a little more tolerant,mind you I still get fired up over people who could, but don't, help themselves.
My nursing background has stood me in stead for the many people who have crossed my path this last year,needing my help be it physical or mental.At times I have been drained, with the demand on my person, but an inner strength comes to the fore and I can keep going .
I have been blessd with the last twelve months as no-one close has died,My friends and family are all going well, living their lives as best as they can.
I have decided just to keep plodding along, trying not to deliberately upset or hurt anyone and if I do to make it up to them in some small way.
This old home is taking shape and hopefully over the next twelve months it will become a comfotable home for us and our family and friends.
